(Winter Soldier P.O.V)

I continued walking until I spotted my targets safe house, I cautiously circled the house looking for traps and CCTV cameras. After circling the house for the third time I confirmed that there were no cameras or traps on the outside. Strange, I thought as I stepped onto the premises climbing through an open window at the back of the house, triggering the alarm. Shit. I wasn't supposed to do that.

Smart idea. Motion detectors were set around all the possible entry points hidden just out of view, but the serum I had been injected with when I was first captured, enhanced my sight, if I had paid more attention I would have noticed. I silently cursed myself again.
At least I didn't have to be quiet anymore I thought searching all the rooms in the house until i came down to the basement.

As it was the last room in the house I knew my target was in there- possibly with back-up. I drew out my knives from around my waist and entered slowly, immediately I was attacked by four guards. Turning around I slashed on of the guards throat instantly, I didn't have to look and see if I had killed him as I heard a loud thump, presumably from where he fell to the ground. Before the others could react to their fallen comrade, I pulled out another knife to replace the one stuck in the guards neck and slashed at the next guards feet causing him to fall and hit his head on the way, leaving him unconscious on the floor. Jumping from the ground I saw another guard try to attack me but before he could even get close enough I had thrown a knife in his head, he dropped dead immediately. The final guard stood facing me and indicated that he would attack me in hand to hand combat, so I dropped my knives and raised my fists. He chuckled "You shouldn't have done that." As he swung towards me it became apparent he had some skills but as he reached out to strike me he made a fatal mistake, he had left himself completely unguarded. Seizing the opportunity I struck him under the chin with all my strength- crushing his throat and suffocating him in the process.

As I stepped over the bodies littered on the ground I found a door, I opened it expecting to be attacked but what I saw shocked me. My target stood on the opposite side of the room, unbuckling my remaining 2 knives I gripped them tightly and walked towards her. It was only then I truly took in her appearance, she stood unafraid, and made no attempt to shield herself. But the thing I noticed most was her arm. It was metal- and exact replica of mine.That was when I realised.

She was a winter soldier too.
